Typos and speech to text gaffs which make me smile
I just had this email from the chair of the Narrow Gauge Railway Society. Any volunteers?

In addition,. I was watching one of my past videos after receiving a comment about it and happened to catch these revealing speech to text gaffs. Normally, the closed caption subtitles on YouTube are very good, but it does struggle with unfamiliar names - particularly Peckforton
This should read "Peckett loco number one, "Peckforton" ironically ..... and is passing Peckforton Mill on the approach to Peckforton These two are self explanatory.... Rik

I once got an email from a banker I was working with: "I am a waste in the office until noon today..."
By this point we'd come to expect his plentiful text-to-speech errors as they were in almost every email, but if he had said that in our first interaction I would have probably been looking for a different bank.

I thought about trying out a speech to text program, to shorten the excessive lengths of time I spend translating my thoughts into written words.
They all just leave too many mistakes to fix.

As an assessor I get lots and lots of documents to check.
I have a huge file in the office containing only the best ones.
German autocorrect went in and changes "Worst-case Betrieb" to WURST Case Betrieb. (Sausage case Operation).
Some things turn robust by the change of a letter. Maximum DC ripple voltage 10 MV (should have been mV). I would like to see that unit....

I'd like to think a sausage case operation would be far from the worst case, unless the 'operation' in question was bowel surgery (I know that'd be Eingriff/Operation rather than Betrieb, but it works in English at least.)Scrat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 9:03 am As an assessor I get lots and lots of documents to check.

For a while I belonged to a local originally-German Lutheran congregation who joked we were the only church in town who prayed for the wurst...
I'm positive that witnessing a DC ripple like that would be a shocking experience!
